Jet Crash in Thailand Leaves Most Passengers Dead

The flight data recorders of the jet that crashed and burned in Phuket, Thailand have been recovered and will hopefully give some indication of what went so terribly wrong on Sunday. The crash left 89 people dead and several with serious injuries. Only 40 of the 130 aboard survived the fiery crash.

The aircraft was a U.S.-made Boeing MD-82, and the National Transportation Safety Board will assist the Thai government in the investigation. The plane skidded off the rain-soaked wind-swept runway and smashed into a hillside in flames. As fire spread through the wreckage, those alive scrambled for the plane's exits.

At least four Americans were killed in the crash. Flights from Phuket International Airport were canceled following the crash. Phuket's airport is the second-busiest airport in Thailand.

If you or a loved one has been injured or killed in an accident in Philadelphia or anywhere in Pennsylvania, please contact the Personal Injury Attorneys at Pomerantz Perlberger & Lewis today to schedule your initial consultation.
